New York Times best-selling author Dr. Mike Dow and Ronan Levy, founder of Field Trip, the world's largest provider of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies, offer ways to integrate ketamine into treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.

It’s been described as the most important breakthrough in mental health since the introduction of Prozac in 1986. And though once considered taboo, the psychedelic compound, ketamine, is experiencing a spectacular therapeutic comeback.



When combined with psychotherapy, ketamine, which has been described as the being possibly the “most important breakthrough in antidepressant treatment in decades,” has the potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other debilitating mental illnesses—and

change

lives.



Unlike antidepressants, which merely mask the pain, psychedelics that heal the brain are the future. Instead of putting Band-Aids on the brain, with Ketamine Assisted-Psychotherapy, you can actually repair the neurological damage caused by stress, anxiety, neglect, and abuse.



In this book, best-selling author

Dr. Mike Dow

and Field Trip co-founder Ronan Levy provide a broad overview of where KAP came from, how it works, who it works for, and what to expect. More importantly,

The Ketamine Breakthrough

gives specific protocols for both practitioners and patients to follow in their work with KAP.



This book contains hope for those diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, plagued by trauma and frozen by fears. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has also proven effective for people with drug, alcohol, and behavioral addictions, existential depression, grief, and just feeling

stuck

. People with unresolved resentments, anger, and the everyday anxieties of modern life will also benefit. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has been enormously helpful with couples, groups, and veterans, which will be addressed in the book as well.



This is the go-to manual for therapists and anyone who wants to learn more about Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. For those undergoing this revolutionary protocol, it includes a session-by-session Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Workbook to enhance and deepen the treatment.

Sofia B. ★★★★★

The section on integration therapy after a ketamine session was the part I needed most, since my clinic handed me the medicine and basically nothing else. Ronan Levy's perspective as an actual provider keeps it grounded instead of woo-woo, and the dosing chapter answered questions my psychiatrist br

James N. ★★★★★

I've read a few books on this topic and this is the first one that actually explained how the integration sessions work, not just the dosing part. The co-author's experience running actual clinics comes through in the chapters on set and setting.

Zoe E. ★★★★★

The practical guidance from both a therapist and the founder of a leading psychedelic therapy company made this book feel grounded, not just theoretical.
